This week is frustrating. I planned on pushing a few extra days because of the ones I had to skip from being sick. That did not work out and by wednesday I was feeling run down again and by the weekend I was feeling like I was fighting off another sickness. I feel like on the whole I am not developing any fitness because of constant setbacks. This week that feeling was a bit much to handle and I have been questioning what the point of putting all of my effort into this endeavor.

I had a bad infection or flu the beginning of this week so I missed the first two days. By my tune-up race on sunday I was feeling fairly run down from trying to train that off. A few more hard days before I start resting for wildflower and I am going to try to get everything opened back up and tuned next week.

I was doing really well with the structured rest this week but I ended up with a cold of some kind. I may be taking too many liberties with my health...assuming I can eat whatever I want and do whatever I want and my body can handle it. Hoping to be back to the swing by wednesday as I will be kicking off racing this weekend.

This was the last week of work in this block. I was really tired and sore all week and was happy just to make it through the workouts that I did. I still had to skip a planned swim and run workout this week to keep myself going. I am very happy that I made it through though and with some major recovery next wee I am hoping to get some serious fitness out of this block.
With wildflower less than four weeks away I am getting excited to shift into more of a racing mode and get a look at whether all this training is paying off.

This was a pretty good week. I missed a swim and the ride hours were short because of some unfortunate weather. I think I am getting some serious work done with the running as my legs are wrecked. Especially after my second annual birthday run in the city http://connect.garmin.com/activity/75723230. Got a lot of bike projects done this week too and finally got the last piece of the bike equation in. ZIPP 404 carbon clinchers and they are a thing of beauty.
